In this video I show you how I hook up with the weight distribution hitch. It’s easy to do, better on your rear suspension and makes towing much safer. You can find this exact hardware in ‘our gear‘ on this site. We list all of our favorite gear and link you to where you can…

The one question I always get about our RV is, “How bad is it to deal with the sewer line?” Well, instead of worrying you with details, let me just show you. In this video I will show you how I unhook everything from the RV before we move. You will get to see my…

We are in Geneva, Switzerland! The city reminds me of Washington, DC – clean and modern yet quiet for such a big city. We are in a residential area, but it is a short walk to the heart of town and Lake Geneva. Check out our Airbnb:

Since we arrived in Lyon on a rainy day, we decided to film our apartment tour at the end of our stay. We really love our apartment and the neighborhood. The best part is the short walk to what is now our favorite bakery in all of Europe: Boulangerie de la Martinière (24 rue Martinière)….

We decided to take a day trip to Aix-en-Provence. It is a short train ride from Marseille. I’d heard of Aix-en-Provence because it is a popular city for students at FSU and UF (and other schools in the US) for studying abroad. I didn’t study any foreign languages at UF but I wish I would…

I’ve been on three Delta flights recently and when I play a movie, this commercial always plays first. It is narrated by Viola Davis and it is a beautiful reminder of why we travel the world. Here is what the Viola Davis says in the commercial: When we’re born, we are more alike than we…

When Chris started working at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, we asked our former neighbor Helga if she would be interested in sharing her story. I am so glad Helga agreed to be interviewed. Helga had told me a few things in person and I had watched videos of presentations she…

We were in Pacific City, Oregon and we had never heard of these Dory Boats. Apparently the Dory Boat history here in Pacific City is over 100 years old! The flat bottomed Dory boats are launched right from the beach into the sea. They fish for salmon, crab, tuna and rock fish. Then when the…

When James was sick this Spring, I loved reading his prayers out loud to him while he was in the ICU. It really helped me to know how much James was loved by total strangers. People we only know from the internet. These prayers helped us get through a very rough three weeks and I…

I love Taylor Swift. Her music is just upbeat and great for singing along in the car. I also really enjoy her music videos. So many of them are really done well! And I love the Easter Eggs she plants in her videos and on her Instagram. Taylor hides little clues for things we don’t…

I really enjoy the YouTube channel Wendover Productions. We love traveling all over Europe by train. But the thing is, cities in Europe are SO much closer to each other (for the most part). Here in the US we sometimes drive for 4 hours and hardly pass a gas station. We sometimes laugh and say,…

Check out our amazing Airbnb in Antibes, France. Our apartment was actually closer to Juan-Les-Pins. This was one of the most comfortable Airbnbs we have stayed at and we will definitely be back one day! And it is a short walk to the beach!

I am cleaning out my hard drive and finding old videos that I never edited or posted here on YouTube. One is this video of the first muzzle we tried with James. We knew we would need a muzzle for James when we moved to Europe. Some countries require it on public transportation (Austria and…
